I feel like Calculus was very eye-opening for me, personally, and I felt like it was a refreshing finisher to the traditional math courses. When you're in the lower level classes, it's often hard to see where the practical applications are going to start coming around... for me at least, Calculus was where it all came together. I started to see just why I'd taken so many years of math: they all built up to this very practical and fundamental set of mathematics. That isn't to say that there's not a place for other math courses - of course! But Calculus in particular is the "money shot" of math, in my opinion. The applications are firm, and build the fundamentals of physics among other subjects. If I hadn't taken Calculus, I don't think I'd have been as positive about math as I ended up being. That's just my two cents, however.
